How low can your mag go? (psi wise...)

[nato]

I was wondering at what psi peoples mags with lvl10 stop working assuming your shooting in the 265-300 fps range. Just post your lowest pressure.

Ok lets do the limbo... just post the following. I'll start.

Gun: Xmag
Tank: 68/45k
Lowest Running Pressure: 450 psi


N.A.T.O.

Well, My x-valved mag typically will work down to 600ish, but below 800 you start having to wait for it to recharge the valve between shots.

My E-Mag with the middle spring will not fire below ~600-550

It does however, fire with full velosity right up till it stops.

A good person to talk to on this matter is Dennis, owner of Centerflag Products.
Has some great input.

Input as in air or ideas... :) interesting pun.

Same here,on a fairly soft set up.

I have a classic with LevelX. I may need to adjust it cuz I just set mine to 900 and forget it.

Would I get more shots per tank if that is set lower?

...not trying to hijack a good thread, so, my answer was "900" cuz thats all I ever tried! :)

[Z-man]

Yeah about the same here. 600ish and I have to wait after I hit the 700's if I shoot faster than 10bps. BTY how the heck are you pulling psi 450psi shots?

[phishphen]

im gettin to approx 700psi on my x-valve

That's your input pressure.

We're talking about the pressure left in your tank when the gun stops shooting and what effects you notice when you get close to that point.

[nato]

Yea, I think some guys confused. Im talking about the last good shot before you start chuffing. The psi at that point is what Im talking about.

on my clasic i get to 850-800 and i'm done

[SPY 1]

On my X-mag with lx it stops at 1000 psi. How can I get a lower psi ???

I might be wrong, but in general you will see a change in performance once your tank pressure drops below your desired input pressure, until it degrades to the point where it won't fire. If your input pressure is 900, you will still fire down to around 6-700 but the shots might be off. If your input is 650, you can shoot down to 650 without noticing any change.

At AO/CA day we had short fills, so I set my input down to around 650 and then adjusted my velocity to suit. It let me shoot farther down into the tank, and I did not notice any recharge problems.
